Is Leicester a dangerous city? Seen some posts on here about it.

Is it safe to walk to and from campus (oadby in 1st year and then wherever 2nd years live?). Would be worried about being muggd and losing my laptop and stuff.

Are there plenty of other students walking the same routes as you?

Just would like to know a bit more about how safe other students in leicester feel.

Hi there,

Here at Leicester, our student safety and wellbeing is extremely important to us.

Leicester is a true student city and with three big universities and many colleges in Leicestershire you can really feel the student buzz, therefore there will more than likely be many students walking the same route as you.

The University has its own campus police officers to protect the safety of all students. In addition, we also have our own security service and staff.

The Student's Union also offer a safety bus that drops you close to your home for just a small £1 flat fee - or less with a safety bus card. The service runs 11pm - 3am during term time. Check out the bus route area, times and where to get your Safety Bus card from here: https://www.leicesterunion.com/voice/campaigns/current/studentsafety/safetybus/

I hope this helps!

If you would like any futher information, feel free to ask away :smile:

hi, thank you this is really useful to know. Who tends to use the bus this late at night from campus? people using the library? because the city and the campus aren't really that close to each other are they, so surely it's not people coming home from nights out? thanks :smile:
Yes it can be late night library goers but can also be people going home from nights out as the o2 academy is on campus.
